Mindful Eating Journal Basics

Track meals with awareness, not judgment

This guide shows how to log meals briefly, observe hunger/fullness scales, and spot patterns that drive overeating or low energy.

Choose a quick format

Use a small notebook or notes app with a 1-minute template: time, food, hunger (1-10), mood.

Log before and after

Note hunger before eating and fullness after; add a short mood word to spot emotional triggers.

Review patterns weekly

Look for meals that sustain energy vs. cause crashes; adjust portion sizes and timing.

Keep it non-judgmental

Record facts, not labels; the goal is awareness to guide gentle changes, not restriction.
